These are two places me and my boyfriend are thinking of going to. We visited Prague a couple of years ago and adored it. Which place is more worthwhile for a nice, chilled-out break?

I think you should go to Amsterdam. Dublin is great but not much to do there if the weather is bad (which it will be) unless you like your drinking. I know that Amsterdam can offer you a wild time but pretty sure that its the best choice for a chilled out break aswell

Dublin is a major cultural centre in Ireland and the origin of many prominent artists and writers such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, Brian O'Nolan, Bram Stoker, George Bernard Shaw, and Roddy Doyle. Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce about incidents and characters typical of residents of the city in the early part of the 20th century. Ulysses, also by James Joyce, a novel set in Dublin, is full of topographical detail and is both acclaimed and controversial.
The National Print Museum of Ireland, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, both the National Gallery and the National Library of Ireland, the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, the Chester Beatty Library and three centers of the National Museum of Ireland are located in Dublin.
Along with a number of galleries and art centres such as The City Arts Centre, Four, The Douglas Hyde Gallery, The Project Arts Centre and The Royal Hibernian Academy all located in city centre.
Temple Bar is an important place for night life and often people from Great Britain and beyond visit for the weekend.
The city is one of the most youthful in the world - an estimated 50% of inhabitants are below 25 years old.
Amsterdam is noted for many outstanding museums, including the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, Rembrandt House Museum, and its world-class symphony orchestra, the Concertgebouworkest, whose home base is the Concertgebouw. The Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of Van Gogh's paintings and drawings in the world. An unlikely tourist treat is the moving story of Anne Frank at the Anne Frank House.
Amsterdam is also notable for its red-light district, de Wallen. Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands. The red-light district is located in the center of the city along major canals and is clearly marked on maps.
Centred around the Wallen, but also elsewhere in the city, coffee shops sell high quality cannabis (marijuana) products. This is not completely legal but is tolerated when small quantities of the drug are involved.

you'll love Dublin It's nice and so is the surrounding area. A few miles out of town you're out in the country. Amsterdam is waay to infested with coffeeshops(not the coffee kind) and red lights district + there's not much to see outside of the city. If you want to visit a town in Holland try the Hague it's much nicer. besides Dutch cuisine sucks.
